Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012048786A1] The invention relates to a method for discharging condensate from an EGR path (EGR = exhaust gas recirculation) (16) of an internal combustion engine (1), in particular of a motor vehicle, wherein on the basis of a pressure difference between a condensate collection region (23) disposed in the EGR path (16) and a condensate discharge region (24, 24', 24") at least some collected condensate is discharged from the condensate collection region (23) into the condensate discharge region (24, 24', 24") when the pressure in the condensate collection region (23) is higher than in the condensate discharge region (24, 24', 24").
